Ime Udoka Told Celtics to 'Stop Playing Like Assh--es' in Game 3 Win vs. Warriors

Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka had a simple message for his team after Golden State erased a double-digit deficit in the NBA finals.

The Celtics were told to "stop playing like assh--es" during a timeout by Udoka.

The Celtics looked comfortable in front of their home crowd at the start of the game. They were up by as many as 18 points in the second quarter and went on to win.

The Warriors went on a huge run in the third quarter. The Celtics went without a point for three minutes after they were up by 22.

The Warriors took the lead after Al Horford was called for a foul on Stephen Curry.

The Celtics dominated the fourth quarter on the defensive end. The Warriors scored 11 points in the last 12 minutes. Golden State has scored less than 20 points in the fourth quarter in each of the first two games.

Three people scored at least 24 points. They went 10-of-24 from the three point line with 19 assists. There were 12 turnovers in the game, but only one in the fourth quarter.

Curry had an excellent night with 31 points on 12-of-22 shooting, but he wasn't helped by his co-stars. Andrew was 0 of 6 from the point of view of the camera. Klay Thompson was held without a point in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics will host the Warriors on Friday in the fourth game of the series. There is an hour and a half later.
